Business/Product Books for Kids?


I've noticed that some people learn how to be an entrepreneur when they're young, often from a parent or mentor. There's a difference between being an inventor, about which there are tons of books for kids, and being an entrepreneur.

Anyone have suggestions of books for kids that tell stories (and get into the meta of "how") of figuring out what people want and making their lives better by creating and selling a product or service? (I vaguely remember things like Mark Cuban's tales from when he was a kid: that's fine though I'm looking for something less smarmy.)

When I was a child, I was surrounded by lots of technical books. They weren't children's books at all. No one forced me to read them. They just stood there and you could flick through them out of boredom. But now I still think it was my inclination of character, as nowadays children avoid any books. And this inclination of character was due to the fact that I was living in the lack and limited resources of my parents. I think that if you give a child everything, it severely restricts them from dreaming of doing something of their own. After all, everything is already there. There needs to be knowledge around instead of a common consumer environment.
